How is the experience importing from the UK these days? I have avoided the UK at all costs since brexit. As I didn’t feel like possibly having to deal with customs and delays, etc. Is it better now, including automatic taxes? Or best to still avoid it if there is a reasonable alternative?

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Amazon's vibe-coding tool Kiro reportedly vibed too hard and brought down AWS
12·3 days agoTheir reasoning that it’s a human error is, because the user gave the AI too much permissions. So does this mean this is ultimately the fault of the ceo? Because a manager gave some employee the permission to do such a thing. And another manager that manager, etc… So by this reasoning everything is always the ceo’s fault. Let’s fire him!
If you shoot an asshole, did you really shoot them? The hole was already there…

Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around itEnglish
203·8 days agoImagine being a paying Premium member and still get caught by this… That said, the YouTube comments are worth shit, so not much is lost there. The descriptions can be quite annoying when missing.
I really should start looking into yt-dlp or something. Anybody know if that’s still working fine these days?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)?
3·8 days agoIt is confusing, but it is what they do. I’m not sure why they do it. Probably marketing reasons, seeing as a lot of people think bigger number == bigger better. Of course if you know the nominal voltage of the battery pack it’s not a big issue. But yeah Wh or Joule would be better.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is amperage more "obscure" than voltage (or watts)?
16·8 days agoMany batteries these days are rated in Ah, so that’s something.
One reason is because most power supplies are voltage supplies and not current supplies. Though they do report the max current they can supply. Also voltage is in those cases (arguably) more important. The wrong voltage and it probably won’t work at all or even breaks. Whereas to little current, it probably still does something, though at reduced power or it cuts off at some point.
In the current world, probably the one going to jail is the one reporting it. So I don’t expect much no.
Surely this is just fraud right? Seeing they have a board directors they have shareholders probably? I feel they should at least all get fired, if not prosecuted. This lack of competency is just criminal to me.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free softwareEnglish
1451·9 days agoWhen companies like Google, Microsoft, etc. are starting to squirm and whimper. You know you are on the right path. So I take this as a sign that the EU is heading in the right direction.

Buy European@feddit.uk•EU is now outpacing the US in GitHub activityEnglish
4·10 days agoI’m curious, what do developers in China use? I assume they have their own platforms of sorts? I’ve seen some Chinese githubs but yeah not a lot

Steam@lemmy.ml•Steam added the option to attach hardware specs when writing or updating a Steam User Review
1·10 days agoBest option is probably that they report the specs on the pc you played the most hours with for that game. Not sure if they currently track that though
The fact it’s still at 29% is mind boggling to me. How delusional or racist/pedophilical do you have to be to approve of this guy?
And you bet that ‘within reason’ goes flying out the door as soon as they find a reason to hide behind. ‘We have a shortage of strawberry pickers, increase the child labour hours!’
Besides, do we need a bigger labor force when AI is firing people left and right?
I don’t find the tweet unsettling at all, if anything, it should be said more

World News@quokk.au•Nearly 80% of weapons seized by Mexico’s current administration come from the US
8·13 days agoMexico should start a war on guns and start randomly raiding the US’ weapons manufacturers. I would support it.

Games@lemmy.world•1200 Ubisoft staff go on strike against Assassin's Creed company's massive cutbacksEnglish
20·13 days agoSo how long till Tencent buys Ubisoft completely, takes the IP’s it wants and just closes/sells everything else? I give it a year max
If it’s just those two programs and wine doesn’t work, I would use a VM. If hardware acceleration is a must have you can look into GPU pass-through, if you have a iGPU or 2nd GPU.

politics @lemmy.world•The blowback to Trump's racist video reveals his weakness
146·15 days agoI think we just have to accept by now that the US at large is ok with a pedophile, racist president. It’s sad but, that’s how it is. There really isn’t an excuse anymore why Washington DC isn’t being overrun by protesters by now except for that they don’t really mind.
I always enable subtitles if they are available. Usually in English, but why the hell do a lot of English subtitles only sub English? But as soon as another language is spoken they disappear… That makes absolutely zero sense to me.



Can’t you declare bankruptcy for the kids then? Though that would probably fuck with the credit score? But I have no clue how that works.
